to the Act.
3.
The City of Newark shall have the authority to enter into a contract,
following a lawful procurement process, for the installation of the

3.
Any recorded image or information collected in connection with a
traffic control signal violation shall not be retained after 60 days
following the collection of any fine or penalty.
4.
If a summons is not issued within 90 business days following the
